"A Cree Indian" is a notable painting by the American artist Platt Powell Ryder, who was active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Ryder, born in 1821, was known for his portraiture and genre scenes, and his works often reflected a keen interest in the diverse cultures and peoples of North America. "A Cree Indian" exemplifies Ryder's dedication to capturing the essence and dignity of his subjects, providing a window into the lives and appearances of Indigenous peoples during a period of significant change and upheaval.

The painting portrays a member of the Cree Nation, one of the largest groups of First Nations in North America, primarily located in Canada. Ryder's depiction is characterized by meticulous attention to detail and a profound sense of respect for his subject. The Cree individual is presented with a dignified and contemplative expression, dressed in traditional attire that reflects the cultural heritage of the Cree people. The use of light and shadow in the painting highlights the subject's features and attire, creating a striking and evocative image.

Ryder's work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its ethnographic value. During the time when Ryder was active, there was a growing interest in documenting and preserving the cultures of Indigenous peoples, who were facing the pressures of colonization and assimilation. "A Cree Indian" serves as a historical document, offering insights into the appearance and attire of the Cree people during the 19th century.

The painting is part of a broader body of work by Ryder that includes various portraits and genre scenes, each contributing to the rich tapestry of American art history. Ryder's ability to convey the humanity and individuality of his subjects has earned him a respected place among American portrait artists. "A Cree Indian" remains an important piece for both its artistic qualities and its role in the cultural documentation of Indigenous peoples.
